Looking to connect with others
Moving more and regular physical activity helps to improve both physical and mental health – especially if you can get out and meet people whilst you do it. Group activity is also a great opportunity to meet people and have fun.
Not only that, moving more, especially when doing it with others also reduces your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, obesity, falls, cognitive impairments, osteoporosis and muscular weakness.
Regular activities ranging from low intensity walking in a group through to more vigorous team sports will help your physical, mental and emotional health.
Below are specially selected options that help you get out and meet others whilst you move more. Please take a look and see which you would like to explore.
